After a mixed reception last week from viewers Alison was back at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

Fans watched as the 49-year-old met a lurcher who was found tied up in a cemetery and in need of emergency surgery.

Alison was also introduced to a stressed out French bulldog who was struggling to breathe, and a very matted Bichon Frisé in need of a serious haircut.

But fans couldn’t help but noticed how Alison loves using the phrase ‘babs’ during the filming.

One viewer said: “Cut out the babs Alison, i hate it when anyone says that….”

While a second wrote: “If she says Bab, im going to swear, i warn you now.”

The Birmingham native is known for her warm and caring touch when she’s presenting This Morning and now on For the Love of Dogs.

Meanwhile, last week The Sun revealed how ratings for the ITV series had nosedived since Paul O’Grady’s death.

The programme’s premiere episode received an average audience rating of 1.84m and reached 2m viewers at its peak.

According to ITV ratings, Paul gained at least double the amount of audience views, with an average audience rating of more than four million viewers in 2021.

Alison previously hit back at trolls who took aim at her replacing Paul after ITV bosses decided to continue the show.

She told The Sun’s TV Mag: “I was actually surprised with how much I got for doing the show.”

“I could understand in the sense that Paul was so loved, and people were saying: ‘How can she do Love Of Dogs when she doesn’t have a dog? How does she love dogs when she doesn’t have a dog?’ It’s like saying: ‘How can you love children when you haven’t got kids?’

“It’s such a flawed argument for me, and all I would say is: ‘If you don’t want to watch it, don’t watch it.’ That’s what I would say to those trolls: ‘Don’t watch it then. If you don’t want to help Battersea, don’t watch it’.
